Ready, set....TAG!!

Yes, it's time for the Spring/Summer 2011 sales!

It's time to drag out those tubs, bribe your kids to clean out toys, and stock up on cardstock and hangers. It's time to line up your childcare and set up your worker shifts. It's time to get your consignor number and set up drop off appointments. It's time!

In our area (Nashville), I have noticed that more and more sales are starting earlier and earlier. I have many people ask me why I don't move ours up? Well, in my opinion, if it's not broke-don't fix it! We always do our Spring/Summer sale the first two weeks in March and the Fall/Winter sale the first two weeks in August. If we move the sale up to February, we start competing with snow, ice, freezing temps, and lack of time to get everything ready. March just feels more springy to me than February. I feel like we have barely wrapped up Christmas and it's already time to prepare for the March sale, so I personally can't imagine it being any earlier. Plus, our kids aren't going to wear Spring/Summer clothing in February!

We have big things in the works for our Spring 2011 sale. The key to a great sale (in my opinion) is ORGANIZATION so we are hoping to knock our shoppers socks off by being more organized than ever! Keep checking back as I walk you through getting your items ready, but for now...just getting it all together in one place is enough! Start looking in the laundry room for the shorts that go with that top, clean out the closets, and start bribing those kids for toys!
